Re: ST: Reds vs. Padres Wed. 3/14 (SS)

Maybin greets Chapman with a flare to right that drops. Runner on first.
And Maybin is picked off before the first pitch is delivered. 1-3-6.
Parrino jerks one out to left. 1-0.
Guzman caught looking.
Blanks lines a double down the leftfield line.

Re: ST: Reds vs. Padres Wed. 3/14 (SS)

Baker rolls one to second. Phillips retires him 4-3.
Liriano rolls one up the middle. Phillips fields but has no play. Infield hit.
(Bray long-tossed on Tuesday and worked bullpen session on the side today. All went well.)
Chapman picks another runner off first. 1-3-6.
Ground ball deflects off the glove of Chapman to Phillips who nips the runner at first. 1-4-3.

If Gameday is right, Chapman has thrown only 16 pitches through two. Sounds a little wonky to me.

Re: ST: Reds vs. Padres Wed. 3/14 (SS)

Rolen grounds one down the first-base line that gets through and Rolen slides safely into second.
Phipps lines solidly to center. Rolen is held at third. Runners on the corners with nobody out.
Daryl Jones strikes out swinging. That will never work.
Phipps steals second without a throw. 2nd and 3rd.
Frazier, making a strong bid to make the club, doubles home both runners. 2-1.
Hanigan lines hard right to Maybin. Two down.
Navarro caught looking. Reds take the lead.

Guzman greets Jose with a line single to left.
Arredondo balks the runner to second.
Sa-wing and a miss. One down.
Guzman moves over to third on a grounder to short. Two down.

Re: ST: Reds vs. Padres Wed. 3/14 (SS)

Ron Mahay on.

And Maybin greets Mahay with a ground single to left.
Cozart fields in the hole but his throw pulls Phillips off the bag. E-6. Two men on.
Cozart dives but can't come up the ball. Heisey fires to third and almost gets Maybin, who had to hold up to see if the ball went through. Bases full of Friars.
Mahay pitching his way to retirement is rocked again. Liner to left. Bases still juiced. 6-2.
Gameday has stopped so I actually have to listen to Kelch. LOL.
Geez. Phipps loses a can of corn in the sun. Two more come in. 8-2. 1st and 2nd still nobody out.
Mahay getting no help from the defense.
Mahay taking matters into his own hands strikes out Blanks.

Back-to-back Ks as Liriano swings and misses.
Clark grounds to Frazier unassisted.

Re: ST: Reds vs. Padres Wed. 3/14 (SS)

D.J. Phillips comes on in a hurry in center to make the catch. One away.
